The judging took place in late July and was kindly carried out by Pandy resident, Tony Savager. Born as the son of a market gardener, Mr Savager has a vast amount of experience and now gives up a lot of his spare time to judge local garden competitions. The judging day was blessed with fine weather and all the fifteen gardens visited were viewed at their best.
